You’re gonna call me a dumbfuck with the same breath. Let’s set aside that I’ve already thoroughly refuted your insistence that it’s a slur, words meaning and their etymology are separate. Further when you censor historically accurate pejoratives from being used in their proper historical context you allow for the revision of that history. If you care about these out groups as much as your ridiculous comments suggest, then you’d want their struggle preserved accurately, no? Furthermore when you dismiss the message for choice of word you discount good messages entirely and allow bad actors to sneak damaging messaging past just because they more carefully selected their words.
